Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath manufactured listed at $70k. Condition is rated good.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-300 ($-4k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $27k (62.1% below list).
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $70k).
It's been on market 148 days — a 12% lower offer ($62k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $27k (62.1% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $484 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $2k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 68/100 on livability (#88 in ME) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, housing A+, cost of living B+; Watch: amenities F, commute F, health & safety F.
RSU 23 (suburban): math 78% / reading 80% proficiency, ranked #87 of 112 in ME (top 78%) — strong family-tenant draw, lease renewals of 3-5y typical.
Zoned schools: Jameson Elementary School (184 students, 41% FRL); Loranger Memorial School (math 77% / reading 78%, grade A+, #73 of 85 statewide, top 87%, 279 students, 42% FRL); Old Orchard Beach High School (math 95% / reading 95%, grade A+, #12 of 108 statewide, top 15%, 203 students, 35% FRL) — zoned schools at 39% FRL track the district average.
Watch-outs: HOA is 66% of rent.
Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+4.9%/yr); 277 active listings in the ZIP; 2 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; 1,386 units permitted in York County in 2024 (338 in 5+ unit buildings).
Climate carrying-cost: major wind risk, 57% chance of damaging wind over 30y — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Cap rate 1.1% vs local median 2.0% in Old Orchard Beach — below-typical yield; the buyer is paying a premium for something (appreciation thesis, condition, location) that the cap rate doesn't capture.
Questions for listing agent
What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
It's been on market 148 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 62% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
Schools are D-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
